My friends and I were happy staying at Mod's place. It is literally 3mins walk to the BTS, but because it is inside a smaller street, you don't have to worry about the traffic sounds. If you walk across the overhead bridge, you will find many nice cafes just 5 mins walk away. As we walked out of the Soi nai lert and turned right, my friends and I stumbled upon a bungalow (didn't catch the name) about 100m away that sold local dishes with rice for lunch. It was very hygenically prepared and very tasty/authentic.
The security guards at the apartment are very helpful.
The place is clean, and very spacious for the 3 of us with all our luggages.
